"Bella, I can explain ..." he began
"oh really you can explain breaking into my house and loitering in the dark, can you because I would just love to hear it!" I snarled, I could feel the bones in my hands shifting and sharp claws replacing my nails, clenching my fists I kept my eyes trained on Edward as he took several slow steps towards me, outwardly he looked wary but the way he held himself hinted at his overconfidence and that he believed nothing could hurt him, the wary act was just to humour the dumb human in front of him.
"Bella you were gone and you didn't come home and I was worried so I came to check on you and Charlie let me in and told me I could wait for you here."
swallowing my growl I said "well if that was the case I would let you off, however I know for a fact that Charlie hasn't been in the house since this morning, so it would have been very hard for him to have let you into the house."
"wha...how...wh...huh"
feeling a tinny laugh bubbling up I squashed the urge to smile and said "you are not welcome in my house now get out or me and my friends are going to make you"
confidence returning he said "what friends would they be" a snatle from the back door drew his attention to the huge wolves standing outside, only four of the whole pack had remained the rest had gone home to patrol and sleep. "Oh"
"yeah oh those would be my new friends, Sam if you would"
the huge black wolf that was Sam stepped forward and Edward turned towards him slightly as they had a one sided conversation with Edward speaking outloud and Sam thinking his responses. About five minutes later Edward stalked of into the woods probably to brood, "jeez I can't even fathom what I ever saw in him"
a choked coughing sound free my attention back to the wolves to see several half dressed men in various stages of dying from laughter, rolling my eyes I shouted a goodbye and headed back inside to see about airing out the house, much as the scent of vampire didn't affect me Edwards scent specifically irritated me and automatically repulsed me as it was foreign and in my home.
windows open and a soft breeze floating through the house I flipped down onto the couch and tried to relax but thoughts from the day kept intruding rendering my mind incapable of relaxing. letting out an irritated groan I was just about to get up and try to find something to occupy my time with however the door opening caught my interest.
Edwards pov
I couldn't understand what had gone wrong we had seemed to hit it of so well at the hospital but now she hated my guts, I dint even know what I had done to make her made I was assuming it was some girl thing that I had some how snubbed her feminine sensibilities, but when I had asked alice about it she couldn't think of anything either so I was at a loss as for what I should do. deciding I needed to hunt I went in search of an appetizing scent but ended up running across the packs scent although there was also an underlying current of something else there that I just couldn't put my finger on, tracking the scent I followed it all the way to the boarder and stopped there hearing a growl coming from the woods I could hear the wolf mentally telling me to leave or else and I did not need a fight right now so without arguing I just turned and left. it didn't take me that long to find a mountain lion that I quickly drained and dumped.
as I returned to the house there was nothing I wanted more than to sleep for a few hours so I could blissfully ignore all my problems for a while. I had barely entered the house when Rosalie practically pounced on me wanting to know what I had found out.
"geez rose get of and ill tell you what happened, but you wont be happy. well actually I suppose you might be very happy actually"
her eyes practically lit up "you mean she is a threat and we get to eliminate her" the gleam in her eye practically screamed 'depraved lunatic here handle with care!'
Cautious i said "well, we don't know if she is a threat yet but i can fairly safely say she isn't human."
"If she's not human it's not safe for her to be this close to our family she has to go! One way or another"
The evil glint was back, knowing only Emmit could deal with her when she was like this i backed up carefully and then said "Emmit a hand please" moments later the burly man was dragging his wife into their bed room. letting out a relieved sigh as rose's depraved thoughts turned to something other than murder i about managed to ignore the sounds and thoughts that kept intruding as i made my way up to my own room which was sound proof 'thank god!'
Hours later i still couldn't figure out what Bella could possibly be and why she now hated my guts for apparently no reason. Sighing i contemplated what i should do and i decided i needed to charm my Bella back, the sweet girl i had met in the hospital. Plan made i hoped up and started preparing for the days to come.
Bella pov
"Ahhhhhhhh oh my god i haven seen you in forever ah how are you come in dad where did you find him?"
Charley chuckled pleased to see the stress leave his daughter as she gazed at the young man next to him "well it's more like he found me, he was wondering around asking about you and somebody pointed him in my direction so i quizzed him on you to make sure you knew this guy and he seemed legit, so i brought him here and if you didn't know him i was gonna arrest his ass and dump him in a prison cell."
There was a brief pause as everyone digested this before i spoke again "ash not that I'm not pleased to see you but what are you doing here"
"What can a friend not stop by to see their favorite little mountain lion?"
I snorted and waited patiently for the real reason, there was a pause and i noted the pointed look he shot in charley's direction, getting the hint i said "hey dad there is leftovers in the fridge, me and ash are gonna chat in my room, and yes ill leave the door open"
Charley just grinned as he left the room heading straight to the kitchen for some nice healthy food. Leading ash up to my room i waved for him to take a seat anywhere he wanted, he plopped down on the chair at the desk, hurling myself onto the bed i laid on my stomach facing him "so what's this visit really about then?"
Sighing ash said nothing for a few moments before her spoke in a soft voice "Bella the pack is getting back together"
"Shit!"
"Yeah that was my thought that's why i came here to warn you and, well... help you if you will let me"
Instantly my expression softened i really liked ash but i had always been dead sure he didn't like me that way back in fact i was pretty sure i was seen as something like a little sister so far beyond friend zone it wasn't even funny. Shaking that of i nodded and said i suppose as a curtsey i should warn the coven here."
Lifting an eyebrow he said "coven?"
"yeah there is a vampire coven living in town and before you start shouting about how dangerous that is i now and they are animal drinkers and supposedly civilised although personally i don't like them because they are in the middle of trying to manipulate me into telling them what i am because they can tell I'm not human but don't know what i am and they are very frustrated."
"You can't ever not get into trouble can you, everywhere you go it follows you like a shadow" sighing he grinned and then said "good thing you've got me around then i suppose"
"You're sticking around for good this time?"
Nodding he said "yep no more jobs i quit"
Letting out a happy little eep i jumped at him and tackled him to the ground in a bone crushing hug "thank you thank you thank you thank you!"
Laughing he just about managed to prise me of his person and put me on the floor laughing again at the fact i was practically vibrating with happiness and my eyes had shifted with my loss of control from excitement.
"If i had realised i would get this reception when i came back i would have come back sooner"
"I'm just glad you did come back and all in one piece" leaning forward i pressed my nose into his shoulder and inhaled savouring the cinnamon like scent that emanated from him.
Sighing he stroked my hair humming softly i felt all the tension drain out of me and a strong felling of contentment replace it, i dint even notice as i slipped into a peaceful dreamless sleep.
Ash pov
I could feel a slight vibration coming from Bella, leaning in a little i could hear a faint humming sound and realised she was purring, grinning at the potential teasing material for later, but the grin faded as i took in her now sleeping face she was so beautiful and wild and graceful and just purrrfect and far too good for the likes of him. Lifting her sleeping form in his arms he placed her carefully onto the bed tugging the covers up over her. Smiling softly i turned to leave only to see charley standing there looking sad; "you love her don't you?"
Looking down at her sleeping face i just nodded and said "yeah i really do"
Sighing charley said "just don't hurt her, she may not want me telling you this but she has been miserable since you left her last time" at my questioning look he added "what me and Reenay still talk occasionally and nearly always about Bella and before she came here we had a two hour phone call were Reenay gave me the run down on past boyfriends, friends and any drama she could think of that could possibly help me look after her baby girl. You were brought up that was the other reason i brought you here i had seen a picture that Reenay texted me along with a dossier about you and the fact you like to turn up stay a few days and then leave breaking her heart over and over every time you do."
"I never meant to hurt her i just... my job meant i had to keep leaving for parts unknown."
"What's changed?"
"I quit, because i realised something... someone was more important."
"Well come on you can sleep on the couch, I'm assuming your staying"
"Yeah" and for once i realised i really meant it i was not gonna leave Bella ever again if i could help it. Walking over to Bella's sleeping form i pressed a soft kiss to her forehead and said "I'm staying, you hear, I'm not going anywhere" as i straightened up i noticed a faint smile playing on her lips smiling softly at her i followed her dad out of the room down the stairs and to my new bed for the foreseeable future.
